TEMPERANCE MEETING.

The Resolutions Adopted at the Prohibi-
tion Convention at Delaware, Ohio.
DELAWARE, O., July L-Over seven hun
dred delegates and alternates were present
when the Prohibition convention opened,
filling the body of the opera house and over
flowing into the gallery. Wild enthusiasm
arose when amid the opening songs of the
convention, led by Professor Hudson, of AL
lance, some one pinned on the great banner
at the back of the stage a copy, in big red
letters on brown wrapping paper, of the
fourth commandment with this addendum:
"Abrogated May II, 1886, by the Ohio gen
eral assembly," The addendum was greeted
with cries of shame.
Public poll of the convention showed pres
ent of delegates and alternates: One hun
dred and forty-seven ministers, thirty ply
sicians, nineteen lawyers, forty-four teach
ers Isl ex-soldiers and sailors, Isl ex-Demo-
Gratis and 266 farmers. The Isl ex-soldiers
and sailors were greeted with great applause
as they rose to be counted.
John T. Moore the jackson lawyer, upon
taking the chair as permanent chairman,
aroused the house by saying that he never
before saw a convention in which every
body, man, woman and child, was wide
awake and duly SOBER
Resolutions were adopted arraigning the
saloon as public enemy and pointing out
that Knights of Labor Danish liquor dealers
from their circles; that the churches are op-
posed to license and taxation because
they provide for the continuance of the sa-
loon and gives no protection against its raw
ages.
Other resolutions declared the need Of ex-
,>f ,l>y&
and that the Old parties will enact such leg
islation only as liquor dealers will consent
to; denouncing the last legislature; indorsing
the w. G. t. u, local option and Sunday
observance laws; condemning the Dow law;
favoring labor bureaus of arbitration; postal
savings banks; a reservation Of public lands
for actual settlers; the prohibition of import
ing pauper labor and employing child labor
The next resolution invited the Labor
party to unite with the Prohibition party in
the destruction of the saloon and the over
throw of Anarchism Then came a series
which indorsed civil service reform, de-
nounced the frauds of the Michigan anti
amendment vote, opposed any Sudden and
violent changes in the tariff" and sectional
animosity between the north and south. y
The eleventh declares ''that the welfare of
Ine community ana the law OF GOd require a
further safeguard or the civil and Christian
Sabbath not inconsistent with the rights of
those who observe the seventh day, and for
the protection of virtue and the purity of
the family The twelfth demands a tenn
perance education in the schools supported
in whole or in part by the state funds.
Woman suffrage was dismissed with pro-
mise for a constitutional amendment.
Further safe guards demanded for Sunday
observance Temperance instruction in
schools is commended And the platform
concluded with appealing the cause to God.
